136: Chapter 136: A Helper from Another World!

"I can guarantee that I will absolutely not harm Brother Man, nor will I take action against Brother Man during this process, as long as Brother Man does not strike first against me."

Zhao Changsheng directly made his heart demon oath without any hesitation. Regarding this heart demon oath from Zhao Changsheng, Savage Beard felt that something was strange, yet he could not find any fault with it.

In the end, he could only nod in acceptance. However, he did not make a heart demon oath himself, and Zhao Changsheng did not pursue the matter, as if he had already expected it.

Zhao Changsheng's lack of pursuit made Savage Beard feel increasingly uneasy. He felt that things seemed much more complicated than he had imagined, yet he couldn't put his finger on it... [Writing to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, it's good for relieving boredom and very practical]

The conversation between the two came to a complete end with this heart demon oath.

Savage Beard then departed. After watching him leave, a strange smile appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.

"I hope it goes as you wish, haha!"

With a cold laugh, Zhao Changsheng continued on to find more helpers.

For him, he could only seek helpers from either the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path. He had no interest in those other Loose Cultivators or Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who did not belong to either the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path.

Both the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path had significant grudges with the Six Paths Extreme Saint, even though the Six Paths Extreme Saint was the number one figure of the demonic path.

However, that did not mean he could make every Cultivator in the entire Demonic Path submit to him wholeheartedly.

Furthermore, he had offended quite a few Cultivators over the years, so finding helpers was not very difficult.

Especially upon hearing that even that Madwoman, Third Aunt Wan, was willing to help, the Nascent Soul Cultivators of these forces became even more tempted.

After all, with the help of a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, their chances of success would naturally increase significantly.

If the success rate was originally only twenty or thirty percent, it was now at least over fifty percent.

Coupled with the full assistance of the Star Palace, the chance of success became even greater. Therefore, the number of Cultivators who agreed to help actually exceeded Zhao Changsheng's expectations.

This was enough to prove just how many enemies the number one figure of the demonic path in the Chaotic Star Sea, the Six Paths Extreme Saint, had made.

But none of that was important; what mattered was that Zhao Changsheng wanted to see exactly how many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators he could invite.

He also wanted to see just how many days the Six Paths Extreme Saint had left to live.

Of course, while he was calling upon friends and recruiting helpers, the Six Paths Extreme Saint was not idle either.

The first person he went to find was that Madwoman, Third Aunt Wan. Although there were many grudges between them, those grudges could be temporarily set aside because of the Reverse Star Alliance.

"Madwoman, do you really intend to help that fellow from the Star Palace deal with This Seat? You should know that if This Seat dies, the Reverse Star Alliance will be completely finished. Or do you think that Elder from the Star Palace can replace This Seat's position? Helping you overthrow the rule of the Star Palace and making your Myriad Laws Sect the number one School in the Chaotic Star Sea is simply wishful thinking; it is absolutely impossible, and you are entirely daydreaming."

Facing the threat of death, the Six Paths Extreme Saint had no choice but to use his status as the number one figure of the demonic path to address the matter.

At this moment, his behavior seemed even more crazed than that of the Madwoman, Third Aunt Wan. Instead, Third Aunt Wan smiled very calmly and said:

"Brother Wen, don't be agitated, don't be agitated. The main reason This Palace is helping is to see just how much ability that Elder from the Star Palace has. If his ability is sufficient, This Palace wouldn't mind helping; if his ability is lacking, then This Palace can only eliminate him. Therefore, whom This Palace will help depends on which of you is more powerful. If Brother Wen is more powerful, then This Palace will naturally help Brother Wen; if he is more powerful, then This Palace will naturally help him. Otherwise, wouldn't This Palace be leading the foundation that the Myriad Laws Sect has built over so many years to total destruction? Although This Palace is called a Madwoman, This Palace has never been a fool; I naturally know what to do and what the correct course of action is. This is something Brother Wen should also understand, so there is no need for This Palace to say more, right?"

"You mean to say you intend to watch the two of us kill each other, and then whichever side falls into a disadvantage, you will step in to help?"

After hearing Third Aunt Wan's words, the Six Paths Extreme Saint was even more unable to sit still.

This kind of thing was truly hard to accept, yet he had no choice but to accept it.

"You could say that. However, if Brother Wen holds the upper hand, This Palace will certainly give my all to help Brother Wen kill him. I would join forces with Brother Wen and unite all the forces of the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path to overthrow the Star Palace. If Brother Wen doesn't have the ability, then This Palace can only say sorry. After all, This Palace doesn't want to seek my own death, right?"

Third Aunt Wan's words made the Six Paths Extreme Saint's face turn ashen and extremely unsightly.

"Aren't you worried that I will find trouble with you for this in the future?"

"If This Palace were worried, I wouldn't have been so honest with you. It is precisely because This Palace has no need to worry about such a thing that I am being honest with Brother Wen. I hope Brother Wen can conduct himself well and not do anything foolish; that wouldn't be good for Brother Wen. I hope Brother Wen can understand this and not think about doing things that clearly cannot be done; that is never a good thing. This Palace has said all there is to say. Whatever Brother Wen decides is Brother Wen's own business; This Palace will not interfere or help, but will only act according to the situation. Whichever side holds the upper hand, This Palace will help; whichever side falls into a disadvantage, This Palace will take the Opportunity to kick them while they're down. If both of you perish together, This Palace naturally won't care too much and will collect your bodies. You can rest assured about that; given our friendship, this is something I will still do. I definitely won't leave you without a place to be buried."

"Good, good, good! Madwoman, then This Seat truly must thank you."

After hearing everything Third Aunt Wan had to say, the Six Paths Extreme Saint laughed out of extreme anger.

"No need for thanks, no need for thanks. It's a trivial matter, no thanks required. However, I hope Brother Wen will be extra careful. That Elder from the Star Palace has Divine Ability and strength that are quite extraordinary; even This Palace felt an extremely terrifying power from him, a strength capable of posing a threat to This Palace. You must not be careless in the slightest, as any mistake could lead to you being tricked. After all, This Palace feels he has a special quality that others do not, a feeling that makes This Palace somewhat afraid. Unfortunately, This Palace has not had much contact with him and it wasn't for long, so I don't understand him well. But I can be certain that this feeling about him is not wrong; he absolutely possesses something that can threaten both you and me, though I don't know exactly what it is."

"If it can be figured out and proper precautions taken, there might be a way to kill him. If it isn't figured out and you try to kill him, it probably won't be an easy task. I truly never expected that the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star would give him such a good item."

Third Aunt Wan's words caused the Six Paths Extreme Saint, who had intended to leave, to stop again. He then said with a look of surprise:

"You mean to say the thing he has that can threaten both of us was given to him by the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star? How is that possible? The Twin Saints of Heavenly Star are even more wary of him than they are of us; how could they give him such a good thing?"

"Do you know that from the time he began his Cultivation until now, he hasn't even reached a hundred years? Such a Cultivation speed is something that not a single person in the entire Chaotic Star Sea has ever achieved. In this situation, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star naturally wouldn't let him off, yet he happens to be an Elder of the Star Palace. Thus, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star can only borrow our hands to eliminate him, preferably leading us both to mutual destruction and a total wipeout. In that case, three major threats would be resolved at once, ensuring that the Star Palace will not face any more threats for the next thousand or even several thousand years, and their daughter can smoothly succeed to the position of Sacred Lord, with no dissenting voices remaining within the Star Palace."

The Six Paths Extreme Saint clearly had a very deep understanding of the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star and also understood the Star Palace very well.

"What you say is indeed possible. However, for me, if we could win him over to our Myriad Laws Sect, our Myriad Laws Sect could definitely become the number one School in the entire Chaotic Star Sea in the future. Such a good thing must not be passed up, absolutely must not be passed up. But now he happens to be set on taking your life; why on earth did you provoke him?"

Third Aunt Wan said with some annoyance.

"This Seat never provoked him. On the contrary, he not only killed This Seat's Disciple but also wants This Seat's Dao Companion. How could This Seat tolerate that? How could This Seat possibly tolerate that? Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between us, unless he is willing to acknowledge This Seat as master; otherwise, This Seat will definitely not let him off easily."

The Six Paths Extreme Saint said proudly.

"Acknowledge you as master? You really have quite an imagination. Do you think such a thing is possible? There is absolutely no possibility of that; don't you understand this? With his Cultivation speed and his Aptitude, there is definitely hope for him to advance to the Soul Transformation Stage in the future. In such a situation, you actually imagine him acknowledging you as master."

Third Aunt Wan couldn't help but mock him, but the Six Paths Extreme Saint paid no mind to her mockery.

"Madwoman, there's no need for this nonsense. You just need to tell This Seat exactly what it will take for you to help. You don't need to worry about anything else; just tell This Seat how you are willing to help."

The Six Paths Extreme Saint's patience was nearly exhausted, so he asked straight out.

"Didn't This Palace just make it very clear? Whichever of you holds the upper hand, This Palace will help; whichever side falls into a disadvantage, This Palace will kick them while they're down. So, you only need to gain the upper hand, and then This Palace will naturally step in to help you. If you can't gain the upper hand, then don't blame This Palace for being unkind; This Palace will definitely beat the dog in the water."

Third Aunt Wan let out a cold laugh. The mockery in her words made the Six Paths Extreme Saint's face darken even further.

This was essentially calling him a dog in the water. He truly didn't understand why Third Aunt Wan was so wary of Zhao Changsheng.

The Six Paths Extreme Saint said nothing more. Knowing that no matter how much he said, Third Aunt Wan would not help, he simply turned and left.

After the Six Paths Extreme Saint left, Third Aunt Wan's junior, Wan Tianming—the current Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Sect—walked out.

"Aunt, are we really not going to help him? You should know that if he is missing, the Reverse Star Alliance truly cannot be established."

Wan Tianming still believed that the Six Paths Extreme Saint would prevail over Zhao Changsheng.

"Help him? Help him do what? Help him seek death? His current situation is no different from seeking death; besides dying, he has almost no other path to take. Whether it's that Elder from the Star Palace or the Star Palace itself, they all want his life. Moreover, I always feel that the Star Palace Elder must have an extremely terrifying power that can threaten us. In this situation, helping him would be completely suicidal. Since that's the case, there's no need to help him. If he truly gains the upper hand, there's no harm in helping him, but unfortunately, the difficulty is too great."

Third Aunt Wan sighed, her demeanor not at all like a Madwoman, but rather like someone who had everything under control.

"Does Aunt trust that Elder of the Star Palace so much?"

Wan Tianming was still somewhat incredulous, unable to believe how his aunt could care so much about a Nascent Soul Early-stage Cultivator.

"It's not about trusting him, but rather feeling danger from him—an unprecedented danger. I don't know if it's something the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star taught him or something he possessed himself. In this situation, one naturally cannot make a decision lightly. If a decision is made lightly, it's no different from seeking death. The Myriad Laws Sect cannot be destroyed in my hands, so we must watch the situation closely and ensure no problems arise; otherwise, the entire School will be completely gone. And you must continue to Cultivate and strive to make a Breakthrough to the Late Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible. When that time comes, the Myriad Laws Sect will have two Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators and will naturally become the number one School in the entire Chaotic Star Sea. There will be no need to care too much about the Star Palace; in fact, in some ways, we would be even more powerful than the Star Palace. After all, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star are unable to leave Heavenly Star City. This way, our Myriad Laws Sect can gradually encroach upon the islands and territories that originally belonged to the Star Palace, and perhaps one day in the future, we can even replace the Star Palace."

Regarding what Third Aunt Wan said, Wan Tianming, the Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Sect, couldn't help but give a bitter smile and shake his head, saying:

"Aunt, it's not that your nephew is unwilling, but this step is simply too difficult. Decades ago, your nephew already reached the peak of the Middle Nascent Soul Stage, yet I have been unable to take a step further for a long time. This proves just how difficult this step is; it is not so easily broken through. So no matter how anxious your nephew is, it is of no use. I hope Aunt can understand."

"Forget it, just continue to Cultivate well!"

...When Zhao Changsheng returned to his Longevity Island, he discovered an acquaintance had arrived on the island. It was none other than Madam Wen.

Zhao Changsheng was quite surprised by Madam Wen's arrival, but it was also within reason. After all, the two of them were currently in a cooperative relationship, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"Madam, have you come this time because you have something to explain, or did the Six Paths Extreme Saint ask you to pass on a message?"

After inviting Madam Wen into the palace as a guest, Zhao Changsheng asked directly. Since there were no servants on the entire island, Zhao Changsheng personally served the tea.

Third Aunt Wan had already left, and Zhao Changsheng had completely dismantled all the Formations she had set up, just in case something went wrong during the final battle.

Zhao Changsheng didn't need these things to help him, as he had enough strength to handle everything.

If he didn't have enough strength, he wouldn't have done so many things.

"Well said. Six Paths indeed asked me to bring a few words, hoping you would consider them carefully."

Madam Wen hadn't expected the Six Paths Extreme Saint to care so much about Zhao Changsheng, so she directly told him the message.

"He hopes you will join forces with him and the Righteous Path to overthrow the rule of the Star Palace."

"That's impossible, and he should know that. I made it very clear to his Incarnation before—I have to kill him first, then preferably kill the Righteous Path as well, before thinking about overthrowing the Star Palace. Once those two are dead, no one in the entire Chaotic Star Sea can pose a threat to me. Even the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star, I can outlive them. In terms of lifespan, I am countless times longer than them. Under these circumstances, I don't need to worry about them doing anything to me; I have enough time and energy to wait them out. If they want to perish together with me, I welcome it; it'll be a good chance to deal with them all at once. Actually, they have a chance to come out every hundred years. Though it's brief, it is an Opportunity. At that time, they'll surely be thinking of detonating the Primal Magnetic Divine Light in their bodies to take me down with them."

Zhao Changsheng's calm words made Madam Wen's brow furrow, and she couldn't help but ask:

"How can you be so sure they would use that method to take you with them?"

"Because it's their only way to kill me, the only way. There's simply no other choice. In this situation, it's their only option. As long as I don't go to Heavenly Star City, I'm safe. So, after thinking it over, this is the only way they can destroy me. Although the consequence would put their daughter in danger, it's better than having the Star Palace overthrown and their daughter becoming a Cauldron. I have no goodwill toward the Star Palace, you can be sure of that. I have not a single shred of affection for them. I simply want to control the entire Chaotic Star Sea. Does that sound particularly ambitious? Well, there's no other way."

"Because they've calculated my cultivation time and speed. If I don't deal with them in advance, they'll surely become a trouble and a threat to me in the future. And I, naturally, will become a threat to most Cultivators. So, as I told you before, I must kill the monkey to warn the chickens. I'll wipe out everyone who can pose a threat to me all at once. That way, I can deter those who are always ready to seek death. Otherwise, those people will definitely be like flies, coming to me in swarms, thinking they can get some great Opportunity from me to go further or even achieve Ascension to the Spirit Realm. How is that possible? If I had that kind of ability, I would have fucking ascended to the Spirit Realm already, don't you think?"

Hearing the profanity from Zhao Changsheng's mouth, Madam Wen's brow couldn't help but furrow.

"Even so, do you think you can succeed?"

"I don't know if I can succeed, but I know I definitely won't fail because I have enough confidence."

"Madam, think about it. If I didn't have enough strength, confidence, and ability, do you think I would be plotting against the four most powerful people in the Chaotic Star Sea today? The Twin Saints of Heavenly Star, Third Aunt Wan, and the Six Paths Extreme Saint."

"Who are they? They are the four strongest people in the entire Chaotic Star Sea, each a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator. If even a small mistake occurs, I might not even have a chance at Reincarnation. Under these circumstances, I naturally won't allow myself to make any mistakes or have any accidents. I absolutely will not permit such a thing. Therefore, my preparations are thorough, absolutely thorough, and there will be no accidents."

Zhao Changsheng's confident words caused Madam Wen's brow to relax slightly, but she still asked with concern:

"But as you said, they are all Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators. Do you really think success is possible?"

"Regardless, all the necessary preparations have been made. Whether it succeeds depends on luck. If luck is good, everything will be fine and success is certain. If luck is bad, then it's just bad luck. However, I won't necessarily die; I can guarantee that. Even with bad luck, I definitely won't die. Because I have enough confidence to make a clean escape. In this situation, I naturally won't think about dying. It won't be too late to seek revenge once my strength is sufficient. Don't you agree? That's what I think."

"I have no qualms and nothing to worry about. I don't have a single friend or descendant here, so why should I worry? To put it bluntly, I have no burdens and don't need to worry about this or that; I only need to take care of myself. The rest has nothing to do with me. If Madam is willing to leave with me, I have no objection. However, I think our chances of winning are still very high. If we really fail, I will take Madam with me. At that time, how about Madam accompanies me in cultivation?"

Zhao Changsheng's words were essentially a confession, making Madam Wen's cheeks flush. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him:

"Do you really think I will become your woman?"

"Isn't the entire Star Palace currently rumored that Madam is mine? Isn't it rumored everywhere in the Star Palace that I snatched away Madam Wen, the Dao Companion of the number one figure of the demonic path in the Chaotic Star Sea, the Six Paths Extreme Saint? Six Paths Extreme Saint hates me to the bone, wishing he could extract my soul and refine my essence, hack me into a thousand pieces, and tear me into ten thousand fragments—basically, he won't let me have an easy time. Since the rumor exists, why shouldn't I make it a reality? If I miss this Opportunity, then it wouldn't be as if I were wrongly accused, right?"

Madam Wen rolled her eyes at Zhao Changsheng's teasing words. She really hadn't expected him to say such things, which left her somewhat disappointed.

"Do you think your methods can really kill so many Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators and other Nascent Soul Cultivators?"

This was Madam Wen's biggest concern—that the chance of success was simply too low.

At least to Madam Wen, the probability of success didn't seem high.

"Whether it works depends on the will of heaven. Regardless, we've done what we needed to do, don't you think?"

"Even if Madam wanted to back out now, it's probably too late, isn't it? Even if you wanted to quit, your husband would never let you off. So there's no chance of backing out now; you can only follow this path to the end. There are no other choices. Actually, I didn't want it to be like this, but they went too far, forcing me to do this and find a way to wipe them all out. Once they're gone, I can naturally unify the entire Chaotic Star Sea. It's been a long time, and the Chaotic Star Sea indeed deserves to be unified. Those two wastes in the Star Palace simply can't do it."

Zhao Changsheng's blunt and arrogant words made Madam Wen's heart skip a beat. She felt like she was collaborating with a lunatic even crazier than Third Aunt Wan.

A hint of regret even sprouted in her heart, but things had reached this point; it was too late for regret, and regret would be useless anyway.

"Madam, if you wanted to back out now, there might still be a slim possibility—going to the Outer Star Sea. But if I fail, your fate will definitely not be much better, even if you go to the Outer Star Sea. This is almost a certainty, with no exceptions. I'm sure Madam understands this, so don't think about regret anymore. Regret doesn't belong to us; we simply can't afford it. If there were any other way, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Don't you agree, Madam? I believe that's the case. No matter what the future holds, that's how I see it."

"But you should also be clear about the current situation. The crisis and danger we face are far too great. If anything goes wrong, the result will be certain death."

"I know, of course, but there's no way out now, so what else can be done? It's too late for Madam to regret; you can only follow me to the end. But Madam doesn't need to worry too much. Since I dare to say this, I have a way to solve all the trouble and all the problems."

"In the future, when I control the entire Chaotic Star Sea, most of my time will be spent on cultivation and other matters, so the affairs of the Chaotic Star Sea will have to be left to Madam. I hope Madam won't let me down, absolutely don't let me down, otherwise, it would be too regrettable."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Madam Wen's brow furrow again, and she couldn't help but retort:

"So you mean you'll kill me then?"

"Madam misunderstands, you truly misunderstand. How could I kill an incomparable beauty like Madam? Such a thing is simply impossible."

Zhao Changsheng's equally teasing words made Madam Wen's cheeks flush once more, but she didn't say anything else. Instead, she chose to leave immediately, having no intention of staying. Zhao Changsheng didn't stop her, but after she left, he fell into deep thought.

For him, although the chance of success was high, it was clear that those around him didn't quite believe in him.

Furthermore, he felt that Madam Wen seemed to have a tendency toward betrayal. However, for Zhao Changsheng, this wasn't important. Even if everyone betrayed him, he had a way to resolve everything. Thus, Zhao Changsheng didn't care about these minor matters; he only cared about his own affairs.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but sigh at his current strength. His power had reached an inconceivable level, and he had sufficient confidence in himself.

Besides that, he had a helper, a very formidable helper. This helper was not from this world but from another world. However, it wasn't time to act yet; he had to wait until everyone was gathered before making a move.

At that time, whether it was the Six Paths Extreme Saint or Third Aunt Wan, as long as they came, they shouldn't dream of leaving alive.

Zhao Changsheng never believed that the Madwoman Third Aunt Wan would sincerely help him. He never had that thought, nor would he have such an absurd idea.

Third Aunt Wan certainly trusted the Six Paths Extreme Saint more than him.

Therefore, Zhao Changsheng had to be prepared for Third Aunt Wan's betrayal, as well as the betrayal of others. If nothing unexpected happened, the Six Paths Extreme Saint should be visiting every household now.

Because the current situation was no longer optimistic. If not handled properly, even his own life might not be preserved.

The Six Paths Extreme Saint naturally didn't dare to be careless in this regard. Although he didn't know much about Zhao Changsheng, he still didn't dare to be negligent.

Zhao Changsheng was also well aware of all this and didn't care, because from beginning to end, he never intended to rely on the power of the Chaotic Star Sea to kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint.

Zhao Changsheng never thought of that; he just wanted to wipe them all out, to eliminate everyone who could pose a threat to me in one fell swoop.

Afterward, he would have a relatively quiet cultivation environment, no longer needing to worry about any disturbances or alarms. He would only need to Cultivate in peace. Even the Star Palace wouldn't dare to disturb him anymore, and once his strength was sufficient, he would overthrow the rule of the entire Star Palace.

The Chaotic Star Sea had been under the rule of the Star Palace for too long, and it was time for him to end all this, considering it a good deed.

Anyway, for Zhao Changsheng, this was entirely a matter of doing a good deed.
